A simple piece of code to take care of all those lonely, template-less documents which were in place BEFORE you remembered to assign a default template for their document type - yes, it happens when you open your back-end to the client for data entry before starting to develop the front end. And yes, client requests like that do happen.

DLL mode, AppData mode, or maybe something hybrid that will allow better source control integration, freedom of choice on deployment and more control? I'm exploring a new setup, see if it suits you too.

Umbraco's MultiNode TreePicker (MNTP) data type has a couple of tokens (or, more precisely, "context-aware placeholders") that can be used in the XPath query defining the starting node for the picker and represent the current or parent node - but these tokens behave differently when creating a new node than when editing an already published node. In this post we will see why and how we can make MTNP behave consistently regardless of whether the node being edited is new or existing.

We are happy to announce our first version of a Starter Kit for Umbraco 7.4 and onwards, based on the Mazel HTML theme. It is actually the same kit we are using on our web site here. This starter kit features a lot of functionality both in the front-end and the back-end and is FREE to use for personal or commercial purposes.

In this very blog, all posts are grouped under a node called "Posts". That's good, but "/blog/posts/a-blog-post" doesn't look as good as "/blog/a-blog-post". That's right, if only there was a way the "/posts/" part could be omitted.
